There's no doubt that they are chmoded 600. All of these file are chmoded to 600: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/index.html http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/index.php http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/info.php If I do a Unix Command on my directory, this is what I get: -rw-r--r-- = 644 -rw------- = 600 ----------------------------------------- -rw-r--r-- 1 byron byron 36894 Jul 17 08:08 crowded-house.jpg -rw------- 1 byron byron 1635 May 9 17:44 index.html -rw------- 1 byron byron 1075 Sep 20 09:07 index.php -rw------- 1 byron byron 25 Sep 20 12:33 info.php You might want to try it on your site and see if the same thing happens? Byron

But your seeing my php page, right? So that means I (or we) have a permissions problem with php I think.

I'm not sure if I have a problem or not so maybe somebody can tell me. Shouldn't a chmod of 600 on this php page deny anybody from viewing it? http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/index.php It denies me with an html page chmoded to 600: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/index.html Or is that the way php works on a server that runs php as cgi? Thanks, Byron

OK these were the replies I got and my reply: Since it's turned out this way djbob, I really don't have a problem converting my PNGs to GIFs if you would rather not upgrade at this time. Byron

I posted your message and this is what I have gotten so far this evening: I replied back to him that we have Version 0.3.0 and I wasn't sure if you built it yourself and I could use PNGs just fine without any errors. And I'm now waiting on his reply. Byron

I'm still showing the same error: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/ming/tmp/BYRON.php

This was the reply I got after quoting your reply to J. Sorry about all this confusion djbob. I had know idea it was going to be like his when I requested Ming Hopes this helps, Byron

Okay, this was the reply I recieved. Hopefully this will shed some light on the problem. Let me know if you have any questions?

That's fine djbob. I was hoping that maybe what I posted would have given you an idea of what the problem was. Anyay I joined the Ming Mailing list forum and posted my error over there, what a strange way to post , so hopefully somebody can give us a quick answer. Byron

OK djbob, this is all I've come up with so far concerning this particular error found on my page: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/ming/tmp/BYRON.php This may or may not help you, but from what I can tell this is the part of Ming that outputs that error. http://www.oaxaca.gob.mx/mapserver48/ming-...blocks/bitmap.c Google Cached version http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache:jSTtU...us&ie=UTF-8 Maybe you just need to uncomment one of the includes? But you'd no more about that than I would. Anyway hope this shed some light on the problem. Byron

Okay I'll check around and see what I can come up with. But check this out. I took those same images that were in that script and converted them to PNG's and changed it inside the script and it works. http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/ming/tmp/BYRON_2.php Maybe that'll give you some clue as to what's going on?

Oh OK, I was a little confused as to why that person who sent me the script was able to use gif files and I wasn't. They've had ming for a long time and probably have an older version of Ming than heliohost. They said their version was Version 0.3.0. But I'm not going to worry about any longer and I'll just keep checking my files to see if Ming updates in the future. Thanks djbob! Byron

Evidently it's actually working and the error is just telling us that it "must be translated into DBL files for now" and maybe a future update will fix that? I never once thought to check the swf that the php script ouputs because I kept getting that error and just assumed that it would'nt be there but low and behold it is. http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/ming/tmp/Byron.swf I guess all is ok. Sorry about that djbob, but like I said I nothing about Ming. Thanks again djbob, Byron EDIT: Nevermind, it isn't working like I thought. I just went back and looked at the script and talked to that person again. That swf file was created on that persons server and included in the zip file. My scrpt should have outputed this file: $myMovie->save("Byron2.swf"); which it didn't because of the error. So now I think it's your call. If it's against your better judgment than that's perfectly ok with me cause I really appreciate what I have now. Whatever you decide I'll be ok with.

This is what that example file should look like. http://www.script-artist.com/ming/works/GNU/Byron.swf That person who made that for me sent me a zip that had the images and font and the ming script and that swf file that program produced. Maybe they have a different version of Ming. My knowledge of Ming is nadda. Let me see if I can find anything from them about maybe what the deal is. Byron

I'm having a problem using gif files inside my swf scripts. This is the error I'm getting: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/ming/tmp/BYRON.php Is this something that can be fixed? And if so, than there's no rush on it, just sometime in the near future. Thanks, Byron

My main concern was just making sure you knew about it and had an explanation for it. But knowing me it'll happen again in the future and next time I'll save it for you to check out. Thanks djbob! Regards, Byron

Explain what you mean by "PHP apps". I recently made a couple of tools that use Imagick. One creates an image and annotates on that image with a true type font and the other just allows a person to view an off premise true type font. I was working on those tools over the weekend and doing allot of editing. I also sent those to a few friends of mne to use. More than likely those files would have been the culprit?

Attention djbob: Last night I found a very large (30.65 MB) core file inside one of my public directories: byrondallas.heliohost.org/php/tools/core.22338 so I thought I would leave it until this morning and see if it removed itself but I found it still there. So thinking it was just some server glitch I just went ahead and removed it. Then later this morning I was talking with a friend and this is what they told me: Don't have any idea if what happened to me has anything to do with what my friend told me but thought it a good idea to let you know. Byron

Does it just HAVE to be written that way? Will this not work for you? <form name="" method="post" action="" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"> <select name="jump" size="1" onChange="location.href=(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"> <option> - Links - </option> <option value="http://">Link</option> <option value="http://">Link</option> <option value="http://">Link</option> <option value="http://">Link</option> <option value="http://">Link</option> </select> </form>

If that is the final word than I guess I*ll have to live with it. I really don*t use ImageMagick that much but it*s nice to have. I*m really not that versed in php scripting and can*t answer you as to why to use "command-line" over GD. A friend of mine wrote the scripts: http://www.lingolinda.com/2008/scripts/IM/ImageMagick.php and is more knowledgable about ImageMagick than I am, but she also uses GD so maybe she can help me figure out how to do it differently? btw, while I*ve got your attention, were you able to do a server build over the weekend and enable Ming? That same person "LingoLinda" is the person who I will be studying Ming with. Thanks djbob, Byron EDIT: I just realized something djbob, the url you posted is Imagick. Can you enable Imagick for me? I would much rather have Imagick than command-line anyway.

I just discovered that all of my ImageMagick scripts that use this command line no longer work anymore? exec ("/usr/bin/convert $IN $GRAVITY $CROP -trim +repage $OUT"); They give me this error here: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/php/tools/simple-crop.php http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/php/tools/simple-crop.txt Can this be fixed or is it a permanent thing? Thanks, Byron

That'll be great djbob, thanks! Byron

Hey djbob! I read in the Heliohost PHP that I could request Ming if I wanted it. I have a couple of friends that are going to be playing around with Ming in the next week or so and I thought it would be fun to join in for the experience of it, so if it's no problem I would like to request that Ming be enabled. Thanks, Byron byrondallas.heliohost.org
